Bit Shifter: FLASHPOINT Update is LIVE


We are proud to announce that a major update to Bit Shifter, dubbed Flashpoint, is now live. So boot up Bit Shifter and see what the the hype is all about.

What's so special about this update? Here is a summary:

-New areas to explore
-New weapons
-New game Mechanics
-New characters
-New and improved story
-More original music by our composer Aldo "Trnzaddict" Ferrante
-Turrets are re-deployable
-Improved teaching of core mechanics
-System A reworked for gameplay, pacing and story
-Better indicators when Items are ready for pickup
-Wingnut (System B) indicators improved
-Fixed a bunch of bugs

In this update we went back to the drawing board in many ways. We analyzed the reviews and videos we received very closely. We saw where people were having problems and tweaked those situations making a better overall experience. Little did every youtuber know - they are our best playtesters because we can watch them play over and over. The written reviews helped us immensely too and the conclusion was inescapable: a rework was needed. For starters, we revamped the entire A system for pacing, gameplay and story. We decided to get to the meat of the game quicker, adding new mechanics and gameplay.

We hope you all enjoy Bit Shifter: Flashpoint

Happy Shifting,
Plastic Games

Then and Now - Bit Shifter Progress Update
We have an update coming very soon we are getting close to its release. We have gathered thoughts and opinions from convention attendees, user feedback and reviews. This update is a culmination of what they have said combined with some of what we were already planning. We basically realized we need to get to the meat of the game faster, that is what this update attempts to do. Here is a list of what we will be delivering in this next update.


-Better initial teaching of core mechanics
-Re-work of the entire story... We've added plot!
-System A reworked for gameplay, pacing and story
-System B in beta stage with more levels
-Better indicators for Bit/Item Makers are ready for pickup
-Turrets will be re-deployable (keeping current health)
-Wingnut indicators improved for when it's about to infect a Tesla Lamp
-New areas to explore
-New weapons
-New game Mechanics
-More original music by our composer Aldo "Trnzaddict" Ferrante
-A bunch of bugs fixed ( maybe some new ones introduced :-p )

We realize we have been slow with the updates and it could look like we are just another one of those Early Access developers that abandon their projects. I want to assure you all that though we may be slow with releasing we are continuing to work on Bit Shifter now and into the future. We also are perfectionists so we don't want to release until we feel it's ready.

That leads me to you all the loyal users of Steam we need your help if you liked Bit Shifter spread the word write a review and let us know what you think, contact those You-tubers you love and get them to do a let's play we will send them a key, shout at the top of the mountain we don't care just spread the word. We have some awesome reviews right now but we need more not just to boost our presence but so we know we are going in the right direction or headed for a cliff.

To everyone who has purchased our game, written a review, made a let’s play, came to a convention and just gave us their support in some way or another: Thank you all we will continue to work on Bit Shifter it’s you all keeping us going.

Sincerely,
Jim Horn
